This year I’m hoping to read more nonfiction about medical and scientific advances.
I’m keeping the specific sub-genre open. Biology is interesting, and so is palaeontology, archeology, chemistry, astronomy, and a wide variety of other subjects. I will even read about math so long as you’re not actually expecting me to solve any equations. Ha!
The important thing to me is that they’re taking abut positive developments because I need more good news in my life.
A book about the invention of the atom bomb or how many airborne diseases spread so quickly in the winter, as interesting as they may be, isn’t quite what I’m looking for.
Something that talks about promising treatments, preventions, or cures for life-threatening illnesses, or what scientists are discovering about distant solar systems, or new species of plants or animals we’re discovering in remote corners of the Earth would be right up my alley.
If you’ve read something along these lines, I’d love to hear about it.
In the meantime, I’ll be scouring the Internet and my local library for hopeful scientific and medical news.
Yeah, I think I’d like to read more of that sort of thing, too Lydia. I need to make more time for nonfiction.
Thank you. I hope we both find some great reads. If you’d like, I’ll tell you about anything I find that I think you might like.
My science reading has been nonexistent this year, so I need to get cracking as well!
Fingers crossed you’ll find some good stuff!
“about positive developments because I need more good news in my life.”
I love this idea, especially in Space Exploration. So much good is going on out there. And finding new species, although becoming more rare, we are still discovering more life here on earth.
Thank you, Rebecca! I’m glad you get it.
So many interesting topics here, Lydia. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog.
You’re very welcome!
